Britain's Got Talent winner George Sampson stunned the nation back in 2008 with his show-stopping modern dance rendition of Singin' in the Rain, securing him the BGT title.
Despite falling short in the semi-finals a year prior, George proved judge doubters Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden wrong and rocketed to fame after his victory.
After severing ties with music mogul Simon Cowell in 2009, he took advantage of various TV appearances and endorsement deals.
He kept largely out of the spotlight until joining Emmerdale briefly in 2016 playing Ryan Harred, and taking part in Celebrity Coach Trip alongside Roxanne Pallett in 2019.
